Received From Massachusetts Futsal Association:

 

The 2006 Massachusetts Futsal Association's State Cup Championship games are scheduled to take place at the Dana Barros Sports Complex in Mansfield, Massachusetts on January 14 & 15, 2006. This is a United States Futsal Federation (USFF)sanctioned championship tournament and the top two teams in each age bracket and player category qualify for the USFF Regional Championships being held in Maryland during February.  Teams that are successful at the Regional Championships shall qualify as eligible to play at the USFF National Championships held during July, 2006 in Anaheim, CA.  This year's State Cup Event will be co-hosted and sponsored by Essex County Futsal and Norfolk County Futsal leagues.

In order to participate in the annual Massachusetts Futsal State Cup Championships you must first be a team affiliated with a Massachusetts based USFF sanctioned futsal league. Affiliated teams can register online at www.massfutsal.com. Once your registration is received our registrar shall contact you with more details.

More and more coaches hear and see the benefits first hand that playing Futsal has on their young soccer players.  This is evident in the United States, at large, and in Massachusetts, in particular, by the growing number of leagues, teams and players who are subscribing to the training and competitions offered by the numerous
USFF sanctioned futsal leagues.

In July of 2005 the Massachusetts Futsal Association was represented by 14 teams that qualified for the United States Futsal Federation 20th Annual NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS and came away with some very impressive results.

Five Massachusetts futsal teams came away from the national championships held in Anaheim, California as medalists, placing among the top three teams in the country in their respective age division and two teams were crowned national champions.

The success our state enjoys at the national level speaks for itself.  We are very proud of the commitment these teams have made to ascend to the top of the national standings within the United States Futsal Federation. The establishment of a substantial and legitimate leagues such as the Catholic Youth Futsal League, Essex
County Futsal, Fall River Futsal, Norfolk County Futsal and the recently established Boston Futsal League, serving the greater Boston metropolitan area, serve to demonstrate the desire that a growing number of players have to play the sport of Futsal and also solidifies the acknowledgment of more and more coaches and club
owners who are coming to understand the fantastic skills that players are developing while playing futsal.

The Massachusetts Futsal Association is the local representative of the United States Futsal Federation (USFF), which under the banner of United States Soccer, is the national governing body for Futsal in the United States.

Futsal is the only international form of indoor soccer approved by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA).
